Planning a Day Trip to Virginia Beach

Posted on Feb 8, 2018 7:45am PST

There’s plenty to do in Virginia Beach, and if you live nearby, all
you need is the right
transportation to get you there. Then you can spend the day hanging out on the Virginia
Beach Boardwalk, hiking through the First Landing State Park, or visiting
the Old Coast Guard Station. Continue reading and plan your day trip to
Virginia Beach.

Virginia Beach Boardwalk

The boardwalks you’re familiar with might be made of wood, but Virginia
Beach’s boardwalk is made of concrete, which is good news if you’re
planning on riding your bicycle. You’ll find all kinds of entertainment
as you travel along the 59 blocks that make up the Virginia Beach Boardwalk,
and on most occasions, you’ll see exciting street performances and
public art. There will also be plenty of restaurants to satisfy your hunger,
as well as souvenir shops so you can bring something home for your friends.

First Landing State Park

The First Landing State Park used to be called Seashore State Park, and
if you’re interested in American history, it’s a place you
should visit. This is the area where the Jamestown colonists first stepped
on land in 1607. Even if you’re not much of a history buff, the
park is great for hiking, swimming, or sitting down and enjoying the scenery.
The park itself sits on almost 3,000 acres, so there’s plenty to
see. It even features cabins and campsites for people who would rather
spend the night in nature than a hotel room.

Old Coast Guard Station

If you’re
spending the day in Virginia Beach, stop by the Old Coast Guard Station before you leave. This is a museum
that contains photographs and equipment from the early 20th century, when
the Station was a maritime post. There’s no cost for children six
and under, and there’s a gift shop that sells all sorts of souvenirs
made by artists from the area.
